    Clive Gilman working with lighting consultants Lightfolio proposes to install a major public art work onto the upper part of the RGU Library Learning Tower in Aberdeen. The proposal looks to explore the notion of epic journeys made to and from Aberdeen using the motto of Robert Gordon University which is Omni Nunc Arte Magistra. This translates literally from Latin as "Now by all your mastered arts..." (also sometimes translated as "Make the best of all your abilities). The motto comes from Virgil's Aenid (Book VIII, line 441), as the god Vulcan encourages his workers at the forge. Linked to this concept, is the approaching 500th anniversary in 2013 of the first ever translation of the Aeneid into any western European language ('Middle Scots') in 1513 by the Bishop of Dunkeld, and called the Eneados. The proposal looks to take the entire text of the Eneados and then replay it very very slowly around the crown of the upper library tower via applied L.E.D mesh lighting.
